NERD BLAST: Blind Spot by Laura Ellen

Welcome to the thrilling Book Blast for Blind Spot by Laura Ellen!

Genre:

Young Adult Romantic Thriller

Publish Date:

June 10, 2014

Publisher:

HMH Books for Young Readers

Synopsis:

There's none so blind as they that won't see.

Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni's body floated to the surface of Alaska's Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Rox Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can't remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But this time it's her memory that needs piecing together--to clear her name...to find a murderer.

This unflinchingly emotional novel is written in the powerful first-person voice of a legally blind teen who just wants to be like everyone else.
